You Are West Australian and your State Needs You! Twenty-eight players from five WAWFL clubs will wear WA’s black and gold during the Women’s AFL National Championship that begins in Perth on 3rd June. The Division 1 Grand Final takes place at Subiaco Oval on Sunday 7th June before the West Coast v Geelong game.
These players will fight for every mark and loose ball for the right to step out onto Subiaco Oval. WA could make history by becoming the first State other than Victoria to win the Championship.
The squad has been together since October 2008 through the WA Female Football Talent Academy. They have trained, been tested in every way and been tested again. They have played scratch matches; overcome bumps, bruises and the nervousness of whether or not they will make the final cut. They have faced their now team mates in the WAWFL and are ready to take on the rest of Australia’s finest female footballers.
Even with all that preparation and an experienced coaching staff led by Nicole Graves, they still need one more thing…YOU!
All West Australian football fans, male or female, young or old are being urged to support WA during the National Championship. Now is your chance to showcase your State, show how passionate you are about football and cheer WA to glory. Every player can run that little bit harder and find that little bit extra when they need to with the roar of the crowd behind them.
You have the opportunity to see the best female footballers in Australia. The Women’s AFL National Championship is held every two years in cities across Australia on a rotation basis; it will be a long time before they reach Perth again so don’t miss out.
You can see WA at the following locations and times:
Wednesday 3rd June - Steel Blue Oval - Bassendean
1.45pm - WA v Q Thursday 4th June – Fremantle Oval – Fremantle

The Women’s AFL National Championship is the end of a ten month journey for twenty-eight female footballers from WA. The ultimate aim is to win but they also want to make the people of Western Australia proud of them. There will be lots to shout and cheer about but that’s your job. Help the world’s most isolated city celebrate Australia’s greatest sport. You are West Australian and your State needs you.
